Pondy - Paris of the East

Pondicherry, or Puducherry, commonly referred to as just Pondy, is a former French colony and one of the best places to glimpse colonial heritage. The French Quarter, with tree-lined streets, mustard-coloured villas and cafes exuding the aromas of mouth-watering delicacies is the ideal place to experience the lingering French influence. Another fascinating draw is Auroville. Between the food, the shopping, the beaches, the ashrams, and the general sense of tranquillity, Pondicherry has something for everyone. Consider this the perfect location to unwind from life’s demands.

    Pondicherry Feb 2021- This was my first trip with WOW and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Even before the trip, we got the timely emails about getting Covid tests, and Vithika even coordinated about the e-pass that we might have needed in Chennai. Most of us we were travelling after Covid for the first time, so it was very reassuring to see such minor details taken care of in advance.

    What I loved most about the actual trip was that it was very well balanced between sight-seeing and having free time for yourself. The travel arrangements- the bus, the hotel, the tour guide- were all amazing. It was obvious that WOW had arranged for the best and had not cut corners anywhere. Most trips I’ve been to otherwise have been the opposite but this one was such a fresh and welcome change.

    The itinerary was also flexible and our requests were taken into consideration- we wanted to do a quick visit to the beach before heading to Auroville and that was done. We skipped the cooking lesson and went to Perumal Hotel instead (and it turned out be to an amazing place!).

    And of course, Vithika- she was very helpful and accommodating. Whether it came to buying medicines at the last moment or forgetting to bring my own mask (she offered me a new one of her own!), she was an absolute delight to have around. She even provided suggestions about local cafes and shopping points and coordinated everything beautifully through the Whatsapp group.

    Looking forward to travelling with WOW and with Vithika again in future.

    I travelled with wow for Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram in Feb 2021 after almost over a year due to Covid crisis. I was worried and anxious due to the ongoing issue but i want to thank wow club and vithika for arranging the trip so well. It was a very well organised trip taking care of all the precautions and ensuring the fun was intact as well at the same time.
    Vithika is one of the best wow buddies to travel with. She was very helpful, organised and nice to talk to through out the trip. I am happy and thankful to Vithika for being our buddy in this trip and organising the trip so well and perfectly in this crisis time and for being there throughout the trip in case any one needed any help.
    Thank you for the great trip wow club and looking forward to other trips as well this year.

    I had a fantastic time on the trip to Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram. It was well-organised and covered a lot of ground in just a few days. One of the best things about the trip was that all the travellers had ample time to roam around in one leg of the trip, and completely relax in another leg.
    The trip was managed well, all thanks to you.
    I would definitely travel with WOW again. It has been an incredible experience.

  • What does twin share price mean?

    Twin share price is the price mentioned against a package and it refers to the cost per head for a double sharing accommodation. If you'd like to upgrade to Single Occupancy, please select this at the time of checkout
  • Regarding the hotels, what does OR SIMILAR refer to?

    OR SIMILAR means that the hotel booked might be different from the hotel mentioned in the itinerary. 90% of the time we book the hotel that’s mentioned, but under few situations it might differ due to on-the-ground factors. So we pick an alternate hotel, but always in the same class and area of the city.
  • Can WOW book the flights for us?

    Definitely! We routinely book and manage flights for our Wanderers. We recommend that travelers get their flights booked through us as this comes in handy when there are issues to do with cancellations or re-routings.
  • Do you offer a travel protection / insurance plan for purchase? Is it included in the cost?

    Yes, we do offer a travel insurance which is included in the package cost. For travelers above 59 years and above, an additional amount will be charged.
  • How safe is to travel with The WOW Club?

    Your safety is our number one priority. We've designed our itineraries since 2005, keeping this in mind. We always ensure access to emergency contacts throughout the trip.
  • What if I do not pay the full payment on time or miss my installment date?

    We have attractive offers on our trips, but this is available on adhering to the payment schedule shown at the time of booking. If your full payment is not received by the due date as per the payment schedule, you would not be entitled to receive the benefit of WOW offers like super early bird or early bird. You will be charged the regular price when you make your final payment.
